Depression Therapists in Atlanta, GA

Looking for a therapist who will sit and stare at you until you start talking? Appreciate a therapist who starts out each session with, “So, what do you want to talk about today?” while providing zero direction? Yeah, me neither. I value being the kind of therapist I’d want as a client navigating what can sometimes feel like a raging dumpster fire. You may be dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, burnout, perfectionism, life transitions, relationship issues, stress management concerns, low self esteem, or spiritual / religious transition, deconstruction and reclamation.

Hi there I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia. I have nine years of experience as a therapist and mental health assessor. I have worked in community mental health agencies and mental health hospitals. I empower women, teenagers, and children to overcome trauma, reduce anxiety, reduce depression, control mood, and control ADHD. I enjoy incorporating multimodal approaches, including holistic, mindfulness, and TF-CBT, to address your individual needs. Do you feel tired, stressed, and overwhelmed by life's stressors? Are you unable to focus on life goals or accomplish tasks?

I am Shereka S. Shaw, a License Professional Counselor for the state of Georgia. Are you an African American Woman, often misunderstood, while struggling with managing being an employee, being a wife and being a mother? Are you a person who is often overwhelmed with various feelings related to stress, frustration and aggravation? I have over 10 years of experience working with those who struggle with managing their emotions due to depression, anxiety, or past traumatic events.

Over the last 8 years of working as a therapist, I've seen and experiencing everything. From children struggling in the schools, to woman struggling with everyday life problems, I've realized one thing that they have in common-hope. Hope is important when coming to therapy. You are hoping to feel better; you are hoping to come to become a new person. I want us to work on how we treat ourselves allows others to treat us in the same way. My goal as a therapist is to help you help yourself. As a Reality therapist, I focus on your current relationships and conflicts.

Throughout life, we frequently encounter obstacles between where we are at and what we want to achieve. These obstacles can manifest themselves in the form of depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, self-esteem/self-confidence issues, or unresolved grief and trauma, to name a few. Gaining a better understanding of who we are as individuals is an important step in creating a sense of personal fulfillment in all aspects of our personal and social lives. I work with individuals in a collaborative process to explore these obstacles, challenge old patterns and beliefs, and find new ways of thinking and being.

Life can be hard sometimes...from dealing with trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, grief and loss, depression, infertility and pregnancy loss, to figuring out how to navigate life after a pandemic.

There was a time in life when asking for help was the hardest thing to do. To be honest, even as a professional counselor, asking for help is sometimes still hard. But it is easier to overcome. Depression and Anxiety is the most hidden illness among African American women today. Our culture teaches us that it is weak to ask for help and gaining a badge of honor means sacrificing your mental well being so that other can be happy. It's time to break the cycle and generational curse or mental illness in the BIPOC communities. It's time to seek help.
